Kenny Rogers is back on the road. The country star kicked off his annual holiday tour this week with a couple of shows in Canada. He's now back on this side of the border, and will play his first U.S. show in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania Friday night.

Rogers is marking his 32nd year staging his "Christmas & Hits" show, which features a mix of seasonal classics with his own songs. This time around Rogers is bringing Linda Davis as a special guest performer, while he's also welcoming local children's choirs to join him at each stop.

Shows feature Kenny performing such holiday tunes as "Joy To The World," "White Christmas," and "The Christmas Song," along with fan favorites including "Lucille," "Lady," "Daytime Friends," and his signature song "The Gambler."
